A free-spirited rebel from the start, Unity will do and say just about anything to get herself in trouble. She's different, an outsider. In Adolf Hitler, she finds her idol of nonconformity. But soon her mind is also brainwashed by his racist ideology. She becomes obsessed with seeking to win his love, and she wants to make her native England and his Germany become as one to prevent another world war. If she can achieve these goals, she will be the happiest woman in the world. If not, she plans to end her life. This is the shocking true story of Unity Mitford, an English girl who was a niece of Winston Churchill and yet she turned into Hitler's most beloved groupie and most unlikely intimate friend. In this well-researched and penetrating account, we learn about a truly strange and fascinating young girl and her extraordinary real relationship with perhaps the most evil and mysterious man in world history.
